Gee...the surprise over this article demonstrates again what a veil of forgetfulness has fallen over The Book of Tiki. I always thought that the seeing and reading of this very article (well, the first, most erudite half) on page 52 of the BOT would leave an indelible imprint in any Tiki lover's mind, especially because it is such fascinating proof of how the media and critics ("the Taste Police") never accepted and even looked down on Tiki, even in its heyday (last paragraph on page 53).

It's not that I don't forget things, I do, (a lot), but when they do pop up somewhere, I usually remember that I had seen them somewhere before. Or this is just more proof that those little black symbols (letters) on the book's pages get taken in by less people than one would think. :)

Which actually is fine, being that the VISUALS are my main tool of telling the story of Tiki, in the BOT as in TIKI MODERN. Yet the hope is always there that the images will seduce the viewer to read the background story.
